Cutting mats

[Jeff]

I think I am in need of a good cutting mat......... for my new work area at the new house............ where do you guys get yours? Man , some of them are expensive.... I think I will need a fairly large one, although I still have to measure the bench to see exactly, I am just curious as to where you guys get them, and yes I can go to the local art store, but they want an arm and a leg for a small one..... any deals to be had out there??

Try Deserres. Their prices don't seem too bad. If you buy the big one it's free shipping too.

Mine is the 12x18. I have two of them stacked on top of each other for no real reason I can think of.

Try Aldi. I scored an A3 one for 5 bucks on their special weekly buys.

Am I the only modeller in the world that doesn’t use a cutting mat?  My bench top is plywood and covered with paint marks, glue blobs.

Is there any benefit other than keeping your bench cut mark free?

Helps save your blades. They are self healing....harv

I am actually using kitchen (wooden) cutting board . But I am also quite savage and mildly disturbed

So are the cuts on my fingers. Although those take a bit longer than the mats to heal.
